Due to negative market developments as a result of corona restrictions, Norske Skog has therefore implemented the following necessary actions:
- In Norway, Saugbrugs has recalled the 173 temporarily laid off employees, who will now be trained to serve as summer holiday substitutes. The Saugbrugs mill has temporary ceased production on two of its three paper machines (PM4 and PM5).
- In France, the Golbey mill has temporary ceased production on one paper machine (PM1), but plans to resume production in two weeks.
- In Austria, the Bruck mill temporary ceased production on one paper machine (PM4) on 1 May, and plans to start production again on 14 May 14. The other paper machine (PM3) will cease production on 5 May until 11 May.
- In New Zealand, the government has ended the national lock down restrictions, and the Tasman mill will resumed normal production today.
- All other business units have normal production for the time being.
In general, the corona situation will not affect our strategy and the on-going tasks to improve the core business, convert certain of the group’s paper machines and diversify the business within bioenergy, fibre and biochemicals.
